Jayni’s Kitchen: “The Polish Kitchen,” with Malgosia Stamm
On the menu:
• Yellow pea soup
• bigos
• Apple pancakes
Apple Pancakes
Ingredients:
3 large apples
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups lukewarm water
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup olive oil, divided
Powdered sugar
Directions:
Peel and slice the apples into thin slices and set aside. Place the flour and water in a large mixing bowl and whisk until combined. Whisk in the yogurt, sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Fold in the sliced apples.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ladle 4 spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet (making 4 small pancakes) and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until set. Turn the pancakes over and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer the pancakes to a large serving platter. Add more oil to the skillet as needed and cook the remaining pancakes, four at a time. Sprinkle the pancakes with powdered sugar. Serve hot or cold. Serves 6 to 8.
